While I don't condone prejudice of any kind, I explained that everyone has a "little" prejudice at some point in our lives. Needless to say that this provoked a reaction that I honestly expected from her being she is an Obama supporter. But, to be fair, I felt that posting the response she made and my follow up to it needed to be reevaluated just in case I am wrong.
I'll allow you to be the judge.

just ridiculous, woody. 2012 will be doomsday if republicans get back in. you make excuses for your racism, if you are aware of it then you should think before you speak or not speak at all.
The problem is, your racism is not an opinion, it is an attack on people who are a different color, religion, or ethnic group than yours. well who decided your color, religion, or ethnic group is the correct one or american one? Unless you are native american Indian, your color/creed is transported from another place that was not America. You are an immigrant, no different than those from Africa, asia, or europe. Only Indians are native to our soil. I am not an Indian but I have the greatest respect for them, as I do for Jewish Holocaust survivors, and for Africans who survived slavery and their lost heritage. These people are not inferior to you.. they, if anything, are superior to you because they have character, strength, faith, and courage and their survival against all odds should earn your respect and admiration, as it does mine.
starlit, you need to put my words in the correct context and NOT jump to conclusions. I NEVER claimed myself "Superior" to anyone. I merely admitted that I need help at times to not judge a group of people because of the actions of one (1) person.
And I dare you to tell me that you haven't used a "racial slur" (or at the very least THOUGHT of one) AT LEAST ONCE in your life. Because you would be a LIAR if you said that. Everyone that lives has done that. It's in our nature. It's only those of us that recognize and are willing to admit it (LIKE MYSELF) that are willing to change it. And that requires a conscientious effort on our part.
Further, I also stated that those who cry "racism" are the most RACIST. It's always in their heads and out their mouths whenever they're denied any SPECIAL right ( like GAY marriage ) or when anyone disagrees with their LIBERAL / PROGRESSIVE ideology ( as some do with Obamacare, abortion, raising taxes and A.C.O.R.N. funding with TAX DOLLARS ).
Whenever CONSERVATIVES are in control of Government, LIBERALS demonizes them like "crybabies" by throwing a very public tantrum. And VIOLENT ones at that. They RIOT in the streets like WILD ANIMALS, destroying everything in their paths.
But switch control of Government to Liberal control and NON-VIOLENT TEA BAG PROTESTS or concerned citizens demanding those representatives not to vote for a bill they ( the lawmakers ) haven't read are called BIGOT and HATER or told to "SHUT UP". And how about the veterans that return home from a war they fought so FREEDOM is protected being called "TERRORIST" the moment they set one foot on the soil of the country they fought for.
I ask you this, WHO ARE THE REAL "RACIST" HERE AND WHO ARE THE "HEROES"?
Do we fight a war against RADICAL ISLAM or the whole Muslim faith?
Were ALL NAZI'S "GERMAN" or ALL "GERMANS" NAZI'S?
Be very careful on how you "answer" these questions?
Because you're wanting to be the judge of others (like yours truly), and by YOUR OWN STANDARDS WILL "YOU" BE JUDGED.
